  • Glibc Tunables Privilege Escalation CVE-2023-4911 (aka Looney Tunables)
    Disclosure Date: 2023-10-03
    First seen: 2024-01-23
    exploit/linux/local/glibc_tunables_priv_esc
    A buffer overflow exists in the GNU C Library's dynamic loader ld.so while processing the GLIBC_TUNABLES environment variable. This issue allows an local attacker to use maliciously crafted GLIBC_TUNABLES when launching binaries with SUID permission to execute code in the context of the root user. This module targets glibc packaged on Ubuntu and Debian. The specific glibc versions this module targets are: Ubuntu: 2.35-0ubuntu3.4 > 2.35 2.37-0ubuntu2.1 > 2.37 2.38-1ubuntu6 > 2.38 Debian: 2.31-13-deb11u7 > 2.31 2.36-9-deb12u3 > 2.36 Fedora 37 and 38 and other distributions of linux also come packaged with versions of glibc vulnerable to CVE-2023-4911 however this module does not target them.

  • Dirty Pipe Local Privilege Escalation via CVE-2022-0847
    Disclosure Date: 2022-02-20
    First seen: 2022-12-23
    exploit/linux/local/cve_2022_0847_dirtypipe
    This exploit targets a vulnerability in the Linux kernel since 5.8, that allows writing of read only or immutable memory. The vulnerability was fixed in Linux 5.16.11, 5.15.25 and 5.10.102. The module exploits this vulnerability by overwriting a suid binary with the payload, executing it, and then writing the original data back. There are two major limitations of this exploit: the offset cannot be on a page boundary (it needs to write one byte before the offset to add a reference to this page to the pipe), and the write cannot cross a page boundary. This means the payload must be less than the page size (4096 bytes). Authors: - Max Kellermann - timwr
  • Docker cgroups Container Escape
    Disclosure Date: 2022-02-04
    First seen: 2023-12-07
    exploit/linux/local/docker_cgroup_escape
    This exploit module takes advantage of a Docker image which has either the privileged flag, or SYS_ADMIN Linux capability. If the host kernel is vulnerable, its possible to escape the Docker image and achieve root on the host operating system. A vulnerability was found in the Linux kernel's cgroup_release_agent_write in the kernel/cgroup/cgroup-v1.c function. This flaw, under certain circumstances, allows the use of the cgroups v1 release_agent feature to escalate privileges and bypass the namespace isolation unexpectedly. More simply put, cgroups v1 has a feature called release_agent that runs a program when a process in the cgroup terminates. If notify_on_release is enabled, the kernel runs the release_agent binary as root. By editing the release_agent file, an attacker can execute their own binary with elevated privileges, taking control of the system. However, the release_agent file is owned by root, so only a user with root access can modify it. Authors: - h00die - Yiqi Sun - Kevin Wang - T1erno
  • Local Privilege Escalation in polkits pkexec
    Disclosure Date: 2022-01-25
    First seen: 2022-12-23
    exploit/linux/local/cve_2021_4034_pwnkit_lpe_pkexec
    A bug exists in the polkit pkexec binary in how it processes arguments. If the binary is provided with no arguments, it will continue to process environment variables as argument variables, but without any security checking. By using the execve call we can specify a null argument list and populate the proper environment variables. This exploit is architecture independent.

  • Polkit D-Bus Authentication Bypass
    Disclosure Date: 2021-06-03
    First seen: 2021-07-08
    exploit/linux/local/polkit_dbus_auth_bypass
    A vulnerability exists within the polkit system service that can be leveraged by a local, unprivileged attacker to perform privileged operations. In order to leverage the vulnerability, the attacker invokes a method over D-Bus and kills the client process. This will occasionally cause the operation to complete without being subjected to all of the necessary authentication. The exploit module leverages this to add a new user with a sudo access and a known password. The new account is then leveraged to execute a payload with root privileges.

  • Google Chrome 80 JSCreate side-effect type confusion exploit
    Disclosure Date: 2020-02-19
    First seen: 2020-04-26
    exploit/multi/browser/chrome_jscreate_sideeffect
    This module exploits an issue in Google Chrome 80.0.3987.87 (64 bit). The exploit corrupts the length of a float array (float_rel), which can then be used for out of bounds read and write on adjacent memory. The relative read and write is then used to modify a UInt64Array (uint64_aarw) which is used for read and writing from absolute memory. The exploit then uses WebAssembly in order to allocate a region of RWX memory, which is then replaced with the payload shellcode. The payload is executed within the sandboxed renderer process, so the browser must be run with the --no-sandbox option for the payload to work correctly.
  • Kibana Timelion Prototype Pollution RCE
    Disclosure Date: 2019-10-30
    First seen: 2023-09-11
    exploit/linux/http/kibana_timelion_prototype_pollution_rce
    Kibana versions before 5.6.15 and 6.6.1 contain an arbitrary code execution flaw in the Timelion visualizer. An attacker with access to the Timelion application could send a request that will attempt to execute javascript code. This leads to an arbitrary command execution with permissions of the Kibana process on the host system. Exploitation will require a service or system reboot to restore normal operation. The WFSDELAY parameter is crucial for this exploit. Setting it too high will cause MANY shells (50-100+), while setting it too low will cause no shells to be obtained. WFSDELAY of 10 for a docker image caused 6 shells. Tested against kibana 6.5.4.
  • Grafana 2.0 through 5.2.2 authentication bypass for LDAP and OAuth
    Disclosure Date: 2019-08-14
    First seen: 2020-04-26
    auxiliary/admin/http/grafana_auth_bypass
    This module generates a remember me cookie for a valid username. Through unpropper seeding while userdate are requested from LDAP or OAuth it's possible to craft a valid remember me cookie. This cookie can be used for bypass authentication for everyone knowing a valid username. Authors: - Rene Riedling - Sebastian Solnica
  • Linux Polkit pkexec helper PTRACE_TRACEME local root exploit
    Disclosure Date: 2019-07-04
    First seen: 2020-04-26
    exploit/linux/local/ptrace_traceme_pkexec_helper
    This module exploits an issue in ptrace_link in kernel/ptrace.c before Linux kernel 5.1.17. This issue can be exploited from a Linux desktop terminal, but not over an SSH session, as it requires execution from within the context of a user with an active Polkit agent. In the Linux kernel before 5.1.17, ptrace_link in kernel/ptrace.c mishandles the recording of the credentials of a process that wants to create a ptrace relationship, which allows local users to obtain root access by leveraging certain scenarios with a parent-child process relationship, where a parent drops privileges and calls execve (potentially allowing control by an attacker). One contributing factor is an object lifetime issue (which can also cause a panic). Another contributing factor is incorrect marking of a ptrace relationship as privileged, which is exploitable through (for example) Polkit's pkexec helper with PTRACE_TRACEME.

  • Jenkins ACL Bypass and Metaprogramming RCE
    Disclosure Date: 2019-01-08
    First seen: 2020-04-26
    exploit/multi/http/jenkins_metaprogramming
    This module exploits a vulnerability in Jenkins dynamic routing to bypass the Overall/Read ACL and leverage Groovy metaprogramming to download and execute a malicious JAR file. When the "Java Dropper" target is selected, the original entry point based on classLoader.parseClass is used, which requires the use of Groovy metaprogramming to achieve RCE. When the "Unix In-Memory" target is selected, a newer, higher-level, and more universal entry point based on GroovyShell.parse is used. This permits the use of in-memory arbitrary command execution. The ACL bypass gadget is specific to Jenkins <= 2.137 and will not work on later versions of Jenkins. Tested against Jenkins 2.137 and Pipeline: Groovy Plugin 2.61.

  • Docker Container Escape Via runC Overwrite
    Disclosure Date: 2019-01-01
    First seen: 2021-06-30
    exploit/linux/local/docker_runc_escape
    This module leverages a flaw in `runc` to escape a Docker container and get command execution on the host as root. This vulnerability is identified as CVE-2019-5736. It overwrites the `runc` binary with the payload and wait for someone to use `docker exec` to get into the container. This will trigger the payload execution. Note that executing this exploit carries important risks regarding the Docker installation integrity on the target and inside the container ('Side Effects' section in the documentation).
  • Reliable Datagram Sockets (RDS) rds_atomic_free_op NULL pointer dereference Privilege Escalation
    Disclosure Date: 2018-11-01
    First seen: 2020-04-26
    exploit/linux/local/rds_atomic_free_op_null_pointer_deref_priv_esc
    This module attempts to gain root privileges on Linux systems by abusing a NULL pointer dereference in the `rds_atomic_free_op` function in the Reliable Datagram Sockets (RDS) kernel module (rds.ko). Successful exploitation requires the RDS kernel module to be loaded. If the RDS module is not blacklisted (default); then it will be loaded automatically. This exploit supports 64-bit Ubuntu Linux systems, including distributions based on Ubuntu, such as Linux Mint and Zorin OS. Target offsets are available for: Ubuntu 16.04 kernels 4.4.0 <= 4.4.0-116-generic; and Ubuntu 16.04 kernels 4.8.0 <= 4.8.0-54-generic. This exploit does not bypass SMAP. Bypasses for SMEP and KASLR are included. Failed exploitation may crash the kernel. This module has been tested successfully on various 4.4 and 4.8 kernels.

  • Xorg X11 Server SUID modulepath Privilege Escalation
    Disclosure Date: 2018-10-25
    First seen: 2020-04-26
    exploit/multi/local/xorg_x11_suid_server_modulepath
    This module attempts to gain root privileges with SUID Xorg X11 server versions 1.19.0 < 1.20.3. A permission check flaw exists for -modulepath and -logfile options when starting Xorg. This allows unprivileged users that can start the server the ability to elevate privileges and run arbitrary code under root privileges. This module has been tested with CentOS 7 (1708). CentOS default install will require console auth for the users session. Xorg must have SUID permissions and may not start if running. On successful exploitation artifacts will be created consistant with starting Xorg. Authors: - Narendra Shinde - Aaron Ringo
  • Xorg X11 Server SUID logfile Privilege Escalation
    Disclosure Date: 2018-10-25
    First seen: 2020-04-26
    exploit/multi/local/xorg_x11_suid_server
    This module attempts to gain root privileges with SUID Xorg X11 server versions 1.19.0 < 1.20.3. A permission check flaw exists for -modulepath and -logfile options when starting Xorg. This allows unprivileged users that can start the server the ability to elevate privileges and run arbitrary code under root privileges. This module has been tested with OpenBSD 6.3, 6.4, CentOS 7.4.1708, and CentOS 7.5.1804, and RHEL 7.5. The default PAM configuration for CentOS and RHEL systems requires console auth for the user's session to start the Xorg server. Cron launches the payload, so if SELinux is enforcing, exploitation may still be possible, but the module will bail. Xorg must have SUID permissions and may not start if already running. On exploitation a crontab.old backup file will be created by Xorg. This module will remove the .old file and restore crontab after successful exploitation. Failed exploitation may result in a corrupted crontab. On successful exploitation artifacts will be created consistant with starting Xorg and running a cron.

  • Xorg X11 Server Local Privilege Escalation
    Disclosure Date: 2018-10-25
    First seen: 2020-04-26
    exploit/aix/local/xorg_x11_server
    WARNING: Successful execution of this module results in /etc/passwd being overwritten. This module is a port of the OpenBSD X11 Xorg exploit to run on AIX. A permission check flaw exists for -modulepath and -logfile options when starting Xorg. This allows unprivileged users that can start the server the ability to elevate privileges and run arbitrary code under root privileges. This module has been tested with AIX 7.1 and 7.2, and should also work with 6.1. Due to permission restrictions of the crontab in AIX, this module does not use cron, and instead overwrites /etc/passwd in order to create a new user with root privileges. All currently logged in users need to be included when /etc/passwd is overwritten, else AIX will throw 'Cannot get "LOGNAME" variable' when attempting to change user. The Xorg '-fp' parameter used in the OpenBSD exploit does not work on AIX, and is replaced by '-config', in conjuction with ANSI-C quotes to inject newlines when overwriting /etc/passwd.

  • libssh Authentication Bypass Scanner
    Disclosure Date: 2018-10-16
    First seen: 2020-04-26
    auxiliary/scanner/ssh/libssh_auth_bypass
    This module exploits an authentication bypass in libssh server code where a USERAUTH_SUCCESS message is sent in place of the expected USERAUTH_REQUEST message. libssh versions 0.6.0 through 0.7.5 and 0.8.0 through 0.8.3 are vulnerable. Note that this module's success depends on whether the server code can trigger the correct (shell/exec) callbacks despite only the state machine's authenticated state being set. Therefore, you may or may not get a shell if the server requires additional code paths to be followed. Authors: - Peter Winter-Smith - wvu <wvu@metasploit.com>
